Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the potential of wireless systems employing multiple antenna elements at both sides of the link. Diversity gain and multiplexing gain are explained and related coding techniques allowing to realize these gains are presented.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag werden Diversitäts- und Kapazitätsgewinne diskutiert, die im Funkbereich durch die Verwendung von Gruppenantennen auf beiden Seiten der Übertragung erzielt werden können. Einfache, aber wirkungsvolle Codiertechniken, mit denen beträchtliche Gewinne erzielt werden können, werden vorgestellt und erklärt.
